eBay will host a charity auction set up by design and communication agency Logistik, offering triathletes a training experience with the agency’s sponsored triathlete Bella Bayliss.
An online bid for the six hour training session in London is now live on eBay until 23 May. All money raised through the auction’s highest bid will go to charity SportsAid, to support emerging talented athletes in the UK.
The idea was formulated by Logistik’s Managing Director Dirk Mischendahl, who said, "We currently support two of Yorkshire’s best junior elite triathletes – Vicky Graves and Lois Rosindale – as part of our community engagement strategy. Unfortunately though, we cannot support every individual up and coming athlete but it sparked the idea that we should try to help other young athletes who want to develop a career in sport."
Bayliss added: "This is a fantastic way to give a triathlete an experience they don’t normally get, while helping the young talent of the future. This sort of investment is key to our future sporting success as a nation and I would urge more businesses to see the potential in home grown sporting talent.
